"Galaxy Bat Hero? Not a bad name!"
"Hey, Stelle. Don't just go along with him!"
March 7th looked at Stelle beside her in astonishment.
"Don't just stand there. An attack's coming!"
Liuge reminded them at that moment.
"No, why are you just watching from there?!"
March 7th was about to lose it.
"Because I don't have a weapon!"
Liuge clapped his hands together, looking utterly helpless.
"Uh..."
Confirming each other's gaze, they were kindred spirits
After two minutes, the Voidranger: Trampler was beaten to death with a bat by an aggrieved March 7th and a thoroughly delighted Stelle.
Liuge, who had been silently watching from the side, finally witnessed the terrifying combat strength of March 7th and Stelle.
One could even say they coordinated with flawless tacit understanding.
While March 7th provided support from behind, Stelle charged toward the Guardian Shadow's iron hooves at incredible speed. At the instant they were about to collide, she dodged the strike and smashed her bat into one of its front hooves, forcibly breaking it.
March 7th's arrows also carried a freezing effect, coating the Guardian Shadow's two iron hooves completely in frost.
Its ability to move was thoroughly sealed off.
The moment its movements were locked down, Stelle stepped off the nearby wall and leaped into the air, swinging backward to break both of the Guardian Shadow's arms. After completely cutting off its wind-powered attack, she landed steadily on its back.
As the bat swung, fluorescent light flared for a moment. Amid the words, "Rules are meant to be broken," the Guardian Shadow's brains were smashed out with a single blow.
It had been an effortless battle, as though it was hardly worth mentioning.
Liuge found it immensely satisfying to watch. If he had popcorn and cola, he might have shouted "Amazing!" from the sidelines.
A surreal live-action blockbuster—two girls and a monster in a passionate action spectacle, completely uncensored!
After the battle ended, Liuge saw March 7th striding toward him in a huff and immediately sensed trouble.
"Um, March 7th, hear me out."
"Liuge!!!"
March 7th glared at him angrily.
"Look at you! You don't even have a weapon, yet you stood so close. Were you trying to get targeted by the Guardian Shadow?"
"Huh?"
Liuge had thought March 7th had realized he was slacking off, but she was actually blaming him for standing too close, worried he would be caught in the aftermath?
For a moment, Liuge was touched.
"What do you mean, 'huh'?! If we run into another fight later, remember to stay farther away."
"Ah. Okay!"
Liuge nodded.
Stelle walked over at that moment, though her gaze was somewhat suspicious.
"Liuge, why do I feel like you were slacking off?"
Sure enough, only one of their own truly understood one of their own.
"Ahem, I was unarmed. I really couldn't fight!"
Liuge spread his hands helplessly.
"...When you gave me that bat just now, was that what you were planning all along?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."
Stelle's words immediately made Liuge cough violently.
Listening to their conversation, March 7th also began to catch on. Her clever little brain once again seized the high ground of intelligence.
Liuge had emerged completely unscathed from the attacks of both her and Dan Heng.
Would someone like that choose not to fight just because he had no weapon?
If that were the case, how had he avoided all those Voidrangers and Guardian Shadows he encountered?
Even if he could dodge them, what would happen if he ran into a sudden ambush like this one?
The more March 7th thought about it, the more she realized that Liuge really had been slacking off.
"Liuge!!!"
"Hehe~"
"Get back here! You actually lied to me!"
March 7th watched Liuge turn and run away, so annoyed that she wanted to shoot him with a few arrows. Stomping her foot, she immediately chased after him.
Behind them, Stelle watched the two bicker and play around, a mischievous smile appearing on her face.
She seemed pleased with herself for having set Liuge up.
After a bout of chasing and horseplay, Liuge and the others arrived at the middle section of the Storage Zone.
March 7th spotted the elevator in the central area at a glance.
"That should be an elevator, right? If we can use it, we'll be able to reach the Main Control Cabin very quickly."
March 7th pointed at the elevator.
"Yeah, it's an elevator."
Liuge looked up at the area above the elevator, then down into the bottomless darkness below, and nodded.
"Let's go!"
"Okay!"
When they reached the Elevator Shaft, March 7th impatiently tapped at the control panel beside it.
But after trying for a long time, she discovered in dismay that the Elevator Shaft's panel could not be operated at all.
"It seems to be broken."
"Indeed."
Stelle tried to operate it as well, naturally getting the same result as March 7th.
"If Dan Heng were here, he... should be able to fix it, right?"
"No, I can't."
The suddenly appearing voice startled all three of them.
March 7th even jumped back a large step, wearing an adorably startled expression.
"Whoa, when did you get here? And how were you so fast?"
Dan Heng had somehow already appeared beside them.
"I took another route and came around from above. I happened to see you from the surveillance room."
Then he looked over the three of them and continued.
"Arlan is also in the surveillance room. He seems to be slightly injured, but it isn't serious. As for this..."
Dan Heng glanced at the Elevator Shaft's control panel.
"It was locked down in an emergency. Probably to prevent the Voidrangers from using it to reach the Main Control Cabin."
"Huh? Voidrangers can use elevators too?"
Dan Heng fell silent for a moment at March 7th's question.
"March 7th, I told you to read more, but you went to sleep instead. You're lacking knowledge." Dan Heng sighed. "Although most Voidrangers lack intelligence and only care about destruction and combat, some intelligent Voidrangers do exist."
"Hehe..."
March 7th smiled sheepishly.
"But we were fairly lucky this time. The Antimatter Legion attacking the Space Station wasn't led by a Lord of Ruin. It was only a small-scale attack. So this assault will be suppressed soon enough."
"Ahem, isn't that beside the point right now? The important thing is, how do we use the elevator?"
Liuge stepped forward at that moment and pulled the topic back. Stelle nodded at the appropriate time as well.
"In that case, let's ask Arlan. After all, he's the veteran employee here."
March 7th and Dan Heng both nodded in agreement, while Stelle had nothing to add.
After dealing with several Voidrangers, and after Liuge unexpectedly obtained a green Stat-Stick Light Orb, Sleepless, the group arrived at the surveillance room where Arlan was.
"Are you all okay?"
As soon as the four entered the surveillance room, a dark-skinned young man with short white hair approached them and asked with concern.
He was Arlan, head of security at the Herta Space Station, and also Asta's childhood companion.
"We're fine. How about you?"
"Just a minor injury. Nothing serious."
Arlan coughed and waved a hand.
"By the way, are you all together?"
Arlan looked at March 7th, Stelle, and Liuge beside Dan Heng before asking him.
"Mm, yes! We're all members of the Astral Express."
March 7th answered directly.
Even her little brain knew that, in a situation like this, it was better to go along with it.
"I see."
Arlan nodded, then looked at them.
"Then what brings you here?"
"We came to deliver the relic Herta was looking for, and happened to run into this situation. So, at Station Master Asta's request, we came to assist with the rescue."
"Everyone, thank you for your help!"
Hearing this, Arlan expressed his gratitude to them.
"By the way, Arlan. Do you know how to use the elevator? It seems like it won't start."
"Hm? After the evacuation was completed, the elevator's access permissions were temporarily locked." Arlan fell silent for a moment before looking at everyone again.
"Since you were invited by Station Master Asta to help with the rescue, you should have been given keys. Don't you have them?"
"Ah, now that you mention it... Station Master Asta seemed to give me a card..."
"March..."
Dan Heng let out a helpless sigh at March 7th's words.
Stelle and Liuge also gave March 7th looks as if she were an idiot...
Cancer of All Worlds: Stellaron
After March 7th used the key Asta had given her to unlock elevator access, she rode it while everyone looked at her like she was a silly fool, grinning foolishly all the while.
A few minutes later, when the group arrived at the Main Control Cabin of the Herta Space Station.
The moment they stepped out of the elevator, they saw a girl with short pink hair, around one meter sixty tall, walking toward them.
Her striking appearance made Liuge's eyes light up.
As expected of a rich lady!
